Check out my cool old weird bike i bought off Ebay. Not worth a lot but should be pretty fun to ride next summer! They have a 360 degree crank so both pistons go up and down at the same time which makes for a cool lopey idle.
The weird front suspension is the leading link design like Trail 90's had and she rides like a Caddy! These things are getting hard to find without lots of rust pitting and corrosion and fortunately, it lived in Nevada and So. California most of its life. Hot and dry to preserve it!
Im gonna have to sport a white t-shirt and roll up a pack of smokes in the sleeve for the right look. Oh yeah, cant forget the greaser hairdo. Ha ha.

I had a CJ360T that looked just like that. The seat was the most comfortable I have ever sat on. Watch out for how the centrifugal oil filter cap goes on, if you change the oil. It only goes one way and not, if I recall, the way it looks like it should go.

It only goes one way and not, if I recall, the way it looks like it should go.Yep i already serviced it and the cover will only line up the oil holes one way. Thats a bizarre filtering setup but it does work as it had some pasty crud inside it and appears to never been cleaned.
Id like to buy a 305 Dream someday if anybody knows of one needing restored for the right price. I had a 66 305 Scrambler when i was 14 years old i restored and wish i still had it!

Ha ha, that bike is so little that i might get some coverage in a gay magazine. I can be one of those guys that give a big thumbs up and head nod to the Harley guys. Like im on the same level of cool they are. LOL
Plus i added a chrome luggage rack for even more queerness! Im gonna get an old stained wooden box with some ancient speed shop logo on the side and strap it to the rack for parts hauling!

Not a wooden box! It has to be milk crates.
